RE:2 questions for this board:The building of the port "should" be a no brainer.
Did some research on where they were at with this recently and from what I can tell they have spent about 30mil so far on this project that will cost 80 mil (or more as time goes on). So still need about 50 mil to get this project done. This was poor research so if anyone has confidence of other numbers, I would concede to them.
If FEC is no longer funding this, it should still be able to happen as long is it is a financially sound project. You will never be able to go to a financial instituation to get a loan to drill for oil. To fund an infrastucture project though with a steady income should open a lot of doors when it comes to raising funds. Toughest part about these projects is getting the governemnt onboard and everything approved... what is holding them up now is anybodies guess. It "should" get built though.
